I'm so happy right now. I am also surprised it fit in the garage and I can open both doors( with a prop rod )

but, its home!!!!!!

The doors open while it's in the garage?

I didn't realize the opened so close to the car. I thought they'd swing way out. Very cool.

Put that on your front lawn, and you'll have some rather unique redneck yard art.

What's your estimated timetable on getting this rolling paperweight back on the road?

I've got a frame section coming in, fiberglass coming in, a right rear quarter panel, an engine, as well as a drivers side torsion bar..

Hmm... well there's a good chance I can go. Orlando is about 3 hrs from Naples however.

Congrats on the new toy btw!!

nah, I just have a great paying job, patience,time, an understanding mother, and the know how.. plus a great local club to seek for help


I'll snap some pics tomorrow of the rest of it.I'll even open the drivers side door in my garage lol. I can't open the passenger door because it needs to be removed and re-shimmed, closing it is somewhat of a chore.

also, its 1-1.5 years to get it running and driving but not perfect. If I want to make it concourse perfect it would take a complete frame off... I just want it to the state where I can open the doors, drive it any time I want, and to look nice enough to where its not a pile of crap.

you won't have to worry about it rusting out. Well it will not rust as bad as steel will. Can't to see it in 1.5 years.
